Divided by the Niles, Khartoum is a tripartite metropolis with an estimated overall population of over five million people, consisting of Khartoum proper, and linked by bridges to Khartoum North (الخرطوم بحريal-Kharṭūm Baḥrī) and Omdurman (أم درمانUmm Durmān) to the west.

History

Etymology

The origin of the word Khartoum is uncertain. One theory argues that khartoum is derived from Arabickharṭūmخرطوم meaning 'trunk' or 'hose', probably referring to the narrow strip of land extending between the Blue and White Niles. Captain J. A. Grant, who reached Khartoum in 1863 with Captain Speke's expedition, thought that the name was most probably from the Arabic قرطمqurtum, safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), which was cultivated extensively in Egypt for its oil to be used as fuel. Some scholars speculate that the word derives from kiertoum in the Dinka language, which means "the junction of two rivers."

Sudan

Sudan (Arabic:السودان‎as-Sūdān, English pronunciation (US)i/suˈdæn/, (GB)/suːˈdɑːn/), officially the Republic of the Sudan (Arabic:جمهورية السودان‎Jumhūrīyat as-Sūdān), is a country in north-east Africa. It is bordered by Egypt to the north, the Red Sea, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, to the east, South Sudan to the south, the Central African Republic to the southwest, Chad to the west and Libya to the northwest. It is the third largest country in Africa. The River Nile divides the country into eastern and western halves. Its predominant religion is Islam.

Trans-Sahara train from Khartoum to Wadi Halfa on Feb 14, 2016

A tourist trip to Sudan

published: 09 Jun 2017

Corinthia Hotel - Karthoum, Sudan

It's considered one of the modern architectural icon buildings of Khartoum. Apparently it is suppose to be a boat. For me it's more a cheap and fat version of the Burj al Arab of Dubai.
The service as in all of Khartoum needs improvement. The rooms are big, almost too big. The first thing I noticed is a lack of power points for my devices. But they will provide extensions if needed.
The breakfast is good with a vast choice on the highest floor overlooking the two niles (blue and white).
In generell i can recommend the place. Don't expect good internet though.
Price varies depending on season of course. 195 USD, but be careful and read the reservations properly. Sudan has on top a 5% residence fee and additional 17% VAT. Not included in the price you see on the website.

It's considered one of the modern architectural icon buildings of Khartoum. Apparently it is suppose to be a boat. For me it's more a cheap and fat version of the Burj al Arab of Dubai.

Price varies depending on season of course. 195 USD, but be careful and read the reservations properly. Sudan has on top a 5% residence fee and additional 17% VAT. Not included in the price you see on the website.
As a foreigner the passport needs to be registered, that alone will cost 91 USD.
Sudan does not have card facilities! Everything must be paid in hard cash US Dollar. So be prepared to carry a lot of money.
